Attitudes Towards Science
Yes I know most of you will scroll pass at the very mention of science so for those geeky or foolish enough to still be reading I'll keep it short.
All scienctific discovery is either treated as "hocus pocus, mad scientist bullshit that doesn't have any purpose so why do they even bother?" or strangely paradoxical trust/despise stories on health issues (see the supposed MMR scandal and more recently everyone running to blame scientists over the death of a girl riddled with cancer because she had the cervical cancer jab that day). All I want is for more people to have a basic understanding of what the scientific process of peer review involves and for the media to simply take a rusty bayonet to their throat.

The Tesco's Scam
When the Self Service machines were first introduced in our local tesco me and some friends quickly realized a great opportunity to save money and feel dangerously cool.
In said tescos they also had a bakery section which was also self service, when combined with the self service checkout you had 4 bags bursting with various baked goods all coming to the price of one jam doughnut (14p).
Every little helps.
